Jura machines are incredible! I have a 5-year old ENA Micro 90 that I purchased as 'refurbished' and it's never given me any problems! (predecessor to the ENA 4). I like the upgrades incorporated onto the ENA 4.
Earlier this month (December 2022) we retired our 10-year-old Jura Micro 1 and replaced it with the Jura ENA 4. After about 15,000 coffees (mostly Americanos) the Micro 1 gave excellent service without regular descaling - we always used the Jura filter and fairly good tap water. I descaled 3 times in 10 years just for preventative maintenance. No other service was needed. The ENA 4 is an improvement on a great design given the new grinder, the easier to use side doser, and best of all, the side water tower. We now usually fill the easy-to-read tower in-place using a filtering pitcher from the fridge... so, double filtration of already decent tap water. Looking forward to another 18K + trouble free Americanos.
We recommend Escarpment Coffee Roasters 😉, but it's best to get coffee that is freshly roasted and to avoid very oily coffees as super automatic machines like the ENA 4 don't work well with oily coffee.
Good video. I subscribe to your channel. All we do at our house is espresso shots. What quality espresso shot does this make? That's really all I care about. I don't care that it's small. I just want a high quality espresso shot. Does this one make it any better or worse than any other brand? I really appreciate you helping thank you
I have the ENA4 and making 6 - 7 drinks a day ask me to change the filter every 3 weeks I think that’s too expensive. Happy with the coffee not happy with Jura forcing a subscription kind of a service using a proprietary filter with chip. Breville respects their clients greedy Jura on the other hand not so much

Thanks for sharing, that's an amazing testimonial for Jura!
Does idrinkcoffee recommend any brands of specialty coffee for the ENA 4?
